When establishing an account with FJC, you can recommend how the FJC Fund should be invested among various investment pools. Recommendations should be based on risk tolerance and anticipated grant activity. FJC will consider customized investment options for accounts with large balances.

As an independent organization that is not related to a brokerage firm or financial institution, FJC is free to work with various financial institutions to keep expenses as low as possible, generating the best returns possible for our donors. For a summary of previous investment performance, please feel free to contact our office.

You may recommend a reallocation of your account balance among FJC’s investment choices three times each calendar year. Special investment options are available for large balances, subject to FJC’s review and approval. FJC may allow the investment of account funds to be managed by investment managers outside of our in-house options.
